“…Vinasse plays a crucial role in improving the agronomic efficiency of agricultural inputs, including chemical fertilizers, by mitigating nutrient loss and extending the nutrient release period. Combined application of vinasse or vinasse-biochar with urea has been shown to decrease nitrogen loss through processes like NH 3 volatilization, NO 3 leaching, and surface run-off (Engström et al, 2014;Jia et al, 2021;Wester-Larsen et al, 2022). Litardo et al (2022) reported that co-application of vinasse and inorganic fertilizers enhanced plant nutrient uptake by rice crops, indicating increased efficiency of agricultural inputs.…”

Farming practices reliant solely on synthetic agrochemicals face unreliability in the current era marked by unpredictable climate changes and rapid soil health deterioration. Consequently, a shift towards sustainable approaches is imperative to ensure both food security and environmental quality. Molasses and vinasse, abundant organic liquid by-products from sugar processing and distillery industries respectively, have historically served as soil conditioners and biofertilizers. Despite their potential, their effectiveness as organic amendments remain relatively unknown globally. In response, we conducted a systematic literature review to unveil the benefits of molasses and vinasse as organic amendments. Our findings reveal that these by-products consist of both inorganic and organic compounds that enhance soil and aquatic ecosystem performance. These compounds include essential plant nutrients as mineral elements and organic matter, contributing to improved soil physico-chemical and biological properties. Notably, the application of molasses and vinasse in crop production has demonstrated superiority over chemical fertilizers, particularly when combined with other inorganic amendments. Molasses and vinasse have been reported to significantly increase yield in several crops including sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum), tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum), soybean (Glycine max), maize (Zea mays) and rice (Oryza sativa). Strategic utilization of vinasse has the potential to enhance environmental quality by reducing soil heavy metal loads and mitigating negative impacts associated with synthetic fertilizers. However, it is crucial to note that irregular disposal or misuse of these by-products can result in detrimental effects on the environment and human health. To encourage sustainable utilization on a global scale, it is essential to establish appropriate dosages, raise awareness among farmers and stakeholders regarding judicious use, and develop effective methods for handling and application of molasses and vinasse. This approach ensures cost-effective and environmentally friendly organic amendments, fostering a harmonious balance between agricutural productivity and ecological well-being.

“…BBFs can be defined as materials or products derived from biomaterials (plant, animal or microbial origin, often wastes, residues or side-streams from agriculture, industry or society) with a content of bioavailable plant nutrients suitable to serve as a fertilizer for crops [84]. The agri-food waste or biowaste materials utilized to produce the BBF, the principal macro and micronutrients found in BBFs, and the method for converting agrifood waste into bio-based fertilizers and applications in agriculture can be seen in Table 3.…”

“…The agri-food waste or biowaste materials utilized to produce the BBF, the principal macro and micronutrients found in BBFs, and the method for converting agrifood waste into bio-based fertilizers and applications in agriculture can be seen in Table 3. Multiple processing techniques exist for synthesizing organic fertilizers, and the effective managing of these AFWs is crucial for establishing a sustainable cycle encompassing manageability, fertilizer value, soil amelioration value, and plants growth [84]. * The variety of species was not identified or mentioned in the article.…”

The United Nations Environment Programme’s (UNEP’s) Food Waste Index Report 2021 highlights a global annual food waste of 1 billion tons. The UNEP plays a crucial role in achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12.3, which aims to halve per capita global food waste (FW) at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses along production and supply chains globally by 2030. On the other hand, the agricultural sector faces the challenge of increasing productivity to feed the world’s growing population while reducing the environmental impact on ecosystems and human health. In this context, the conversion of agri-food waste (AFW) into biocides, bio-based fertilizers (BBFs) and biostimulants could represent a successful approach to tackle all these issues. This review shows the latest findings on the different sources of AFW and the application of their bioactive compounds in agriculture. Increasing crop yields and improving plant physiology through the utilization of AFW-derived value products aligns with a circular economy approach, bolstering people’s confidence in managing food waste for improved food production.

“…However, some additives can be used during composting process to reduce the odor emissions by providing porosity or absorbing gas. Also, potential NH 3 volatilization is also affected by soil types (such as acidic sandy soil) and the application method of fertilizers, while incorporation of BBFs was better to reduce the volatilization compared to surface application (Wester-Larsen et al, 2022). There are challenges in the level of field implementation between BBFs and commercial fertilizers.…”

Opportunities and challenges of bio-based fertilizers utilization for improving soil health

Bio-based fertilizers (BBFs) have been promoted as a solution to help manage bio-waste problems and improve soil health conditions. Their potential is to replace mineral fertilizers due to nonrenewable energy dependency and the accumulation that threatens environmental issues. Currently, laboratory and field-based literature have been growing since European Union (EU) looks BBFs as the future of agriculture bio-based products. Nevertheless, it is worth to summarizing the results on a regular basis. The added value of this work is to study the opportunities of bio-based fertilizer utilization to sustain plant productivity and investigate the challenges to water footprints and human health. This study found that contamination of heavy metals and pathogens is the main problems of BBFs implementation which need more attention to develop the technology process including the environmental risk assessments. Furthermore, compared to mineral fertilizers, BBFs have obstacles to getting social acceptance due to the challenges of transportation and production cost, the concentration of nutrients, matching crops, and policy framework. To sum up, BBF is a long-run scheme that should be started to tackle global issues since the potency as energy alternative sources to support the circular economy paradigm.
